Why I picked this up?

For me, writing comes really easily. Every word I put on my website is mostly easy flowing. I decided to start blogging to build a better web presence. While doing this I realized, my written communication was pretty good and I was keen on becoming a better communicator. Also, I wanted to become an author for a few books so there was always that in the back of my mind. As soon as I came across one of my favorite author’s masterclass, jumped right in.
